Tsavo West National Park 2 Days Road Safari From Nairobi

The combined area of Tsavo East and West National Parks makes Tsavo one of the world’s largest game sanctuaries, covering an area of more than 20,000 kilometers. Tsavo West has more than 2,000 km of well-maintained un-paved roads that lead from one natural wonder to another. Chief among these ranks the marvel of Mzima Springs, replenished with twenty million liters of crystal-clear water a day from the underground streams of the nearby Chyulu Hills. The springs form a haven for many different animal species. Tiptoeing across the bottom, apparently weightless, we find the surprisingly light-footed but ponderous Hippo. Crocodiles bask in the heat of the day taking an occasional swirl in the water while Gazelle, Giraffe and Zebra wander around the banks through thick acacia, among hundreds of chattering birds.

Among the less common animals to be found in Tsavo, are the Fringe-eared Oryx, the Gerenuk and Hunter's hartebeest. The carnivores in addition to Lion, Leopard and Cheetah, include Caracal and Hyena.
